Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Microsoft Azure Object Storage provides a platform for uploading or downloading big datasets.""The most valuable feature is the API because it is very flexible.""This product is very reliable and all of the security that our client requires is available.""Object Storage's best features are the soft delete option and the retention period.""Versioning is a valuable feature.""AzCopy is probably the best feature. It's a scripting app or a scripting function. Whether it's a Linux batch or a PowerShell script, you can essentially just send a file via a line of code with a specific key.""Technical support is excellent.""The metadata that the solution provides is quite valuable for us. If we need to analyze the latest data from a particular department or particular user, we can simply query through the metadata we store in Azure Object Storage and simply fetch those records which are maybe one day or one month old. this metadata storage is really handy for us."

"The most valuable features of the tool are scalability and security.""The solution's most valuable features are its speed, unlimited space, and simplicity of use.""One key feature is that you can make buckets private, requiring pre-authentication and using a specific URL for access. Additionally, the buckets are encrypted by default. The flexibility of public or private buckets and how you grant access are vital security features."

Cons
"The initial setup could be more straightforward. It would be best if you had a little bit of training or an understanding of the concepts. It's important because if you don't do that, then you might end up not following the best practices. Then you will learn it the hard way by making mistakes and then know that you shouldn't have done this or that. It's better to attend workshops and take a hands-on approach.""The cost of support is always expensive.""We would like it if we did not have to use another encryption solution to encrypt the storage.""Microsoft Azure Object Storage is a pretty expensive solution.""The password retrieval process was very difficult.""The setup process could always be a bit easier.""Uploading files from the UI has presented some issues. When editing work and once you delete a file, it takes some time to recreate the same file.""I have no complaints about Microsoft Azure Object Storage, but maybe its market size could be more extensive, and its backup speed enhanced."

"Sometimes, there are glitches with applying policies. Even when the policy is correct, it might not work consistently. We need to troubleshoot to see if it's a user error or if the policy itself needs adjustment. It usually works after refreshing, but that inconsistency is a minor complexity.""The solution should provide more customization and the possibility of doing more manual tasks.""Oracle Cloud Object Storage needs to have an additional bucket for security."
